Medical Hair Loss Treatments – Hair Growth Pills and Laser Therapy

For people who are adverse to invasive hair loss treatment such as hair transplant, there is an ideal alternative treatment plan to address hair loss. When Low Lever Laser Therapy (LLT) is combined with medications, the effects are better. This is also the only treatment that allows patient to cut down on the frequency of usage with time. This treatment requires patients to undergo twenty minutes sessions up to three times a week initially, and eventually, maintenance on a monthly basis.

Treatment

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

Low Level Laser Therapy is an FDA approved hair loss treatment that makes use of light energy to stimulate a biological reaction and hair regrowth.

A patient who undergoes Low Level Laser Therapy is positioned under a headpiece, that is similar to a steamer used in salons when you get a hot oil treatment. The low level lasers or red light is arranged inside the head piece and then directed over the patient’s head. The patient sits for a predetermined period of time and is closely supervised by the doctor.

The treatment creates a warm and tingling sensation to some, while others claim that it is virtually painless. The effects of this treatment goes deep into the underlying layers of the skin to stimulate a reaction, but the surface will not feel anything at all. The light energy will be absorbed by the cells initiating repair that ultimately leads to hair growth.

Downtime

LLLT does not have any downtime. You can have the treatment done and return back to your usual activities.

Complementary treatments

LLLT and hair loss medications are efficient complementary treatments for hair loss. LLLT applies its therapeutic effect on the outside and reaches inwards, while medications aid in the chemical process inside the body to ultimately produce the desired result.

This treatment plan for hair loss is proven to be effective in promoting hair growth. However, there are some men who prefer to avoid the side effects they may experience from taking hair loss drugs, which is why they choose LLLT. But, it is true for both treatments that results take time before a full effect can be observed.
